This is country living done right, with the sophistication of simplicity.The Edgewood Country Club, established in 1898, is a venue located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Relax on the couch in front of the fireplace or take a seat at your wrought iron table in the garden area. With electric fireplaces sheathed in river rock for chilly Tahoe nights, wide-plank wood floors, your own kitchen area with refrigerator, coffeemaker, and microwave, it’s truly a home away from home, and much nicer than the word “cabin” implies. Here you’re not at a grand resort but at a rustic and comfortable hideaway, where your beautifully equipped cabin lets you hide out from the real world in utter privacy. Unbeatable.Ī very different feeling lures you into Black Bear Lodge (1202 Ski Run Blvd., South Lake Tahoe CA. Perfect service, perfect views, perfect luxury. Rooms are done in earth tones, with “rivers” of dark brown running across the taupe patterned carpets, twig-shaped lamps, and the lake and mountains through your window.

A row of reindeer heads are made from what looks like papier-mache: cruelty-free taxidermy. A massive stone sculpture lines one wall.

As I take the final turn and descend into South Lake Tahoe, I’ve already been introduced to the beauty of the area.įirst let’s check in, then we’ll explore.
I wind around twisting roads, climbing at one point to over 7000 feet, past streams rushing through trees and mountains clad in green and still showing some late May snow. The drive is surprisingly painless, mostly on freeways that move from pleasant/efficient to really beautiful in the last hour or so. To get here, you can fly into Reno, about an hour distant, but if you can’t get a direct flight there, I’d suggest flying to San Francisco or (preferably) Oakland, from which Lake Tahoe is about four hours. There’s something about the lake and its depth (1000 feet on average), its size (almost 200 square miles), and its deep blue color, that encourages even the most active travelers to slow down and take the time to enjoy this stunning natural wonder. Keep your camera handy, because around every turn is a new photo op.
It’s the combination of lake and mountains that makes the scenery so special, and it’s impossible not to fall in love with the area. Spanning the border between California and Nevada, Tahoe is one of the country’s greatest natural wonders, and the highest alpine lake in the contiguous U.S. If you’re looking for a picture-perfect getaway, I have two words for you: Lake Tahoe.
